I have a question about the spektrum ar6115e reciever. i just ordered the flyzone switch thats tx ready. i also just got a dx6i and i got the reciever as a bonus. Question is the 6115 suitable to put in the switch. i know its a park flyer eciever and at first i concluded the switch was a sport plane but tower catalog puts it in the park flyer section and the sport section. can i use this reciever? I am a first time flyer and have no intentions of flying to far away. Thanks for any advice.

I thought that plane already had a RX in it?  You either bought it RTF (ready to fly) or as TX-R (which you would either have to buy an Any-Link to use any radio you wish via trainer port or have a Futaba or Tactic radio)?

If I am wrong...and there is a 3rd version that is "receiver ready", then I would be careful not to fly it too far out with a 6115 reciever.

With a 45" wingspan, you could be tempted to fly it further out than one normally would on a smaller plane or heli.  But long as you keep it close, I think you would be okay.

I am currently flying 2 Flyzone planes with the AR6115e RXs with no issues. Yes, they are park flier RXs, but if you don't fly out of sight they should be fine. Actually, the Tactic RX that comes with the Switch is a really good receiver as well. Did they not send you the AnyLink adapter with that plane? I used the AnyLink with a Tactic RX,  and installed on my Spektrum DX6i, in my Tower Hobbies F4U Corsair with good results.

i got the tx ready one it has the rx. and i have a anylink on the way. just wasnt sure if i could use it. trying to save a few bucks by using the spektrum. this model didnt come with the anylink. but all is well i just went ahead and ordered one. it will be here tomorrow and i will try to fly for the first time this weekend.

If you are just learning to fly...Id not use the 6115. People brand new tend to fly farther out and up higher...sometimes on purpose, other times unintentional...at least that is how I was when I was just learning. <div></div><div>Since you are new and learning....Id take advantage of anything that will help you succeed, and using a full range RX is one of those things. Just my opinion.</div>

This is the very first mistake everyone makes everyone makes especially if they intend to go it alone without help. It is almost a sure bet you will fly it out of range.

Never attempt to use a parkie limited range rx' in an airplane that can easily be flown out of range. Its takes more skill to fly a a larger faster airplane close and that is a skill you will not have as a newbie.

I am seeing more and more losses from the use of cheap clone Rx's and parkie limited range rx's being flown out of range.

I'm using the HobbyKing 6 channel "orange" DSM rxr in mine, converted to a float plane. I can fly it as far as I can see it with ZERO problems. Here is a video of it : https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7MK8jOnILm4
